I had a great day at Shawell today - 32 colour-rings read and six or seven more Caspian Gulls found.
The highlight amongst the colour-rings was a crop of juvenile Lesser Black-backed Gulls: two from Norway, and singles from the Channel Islands, Denmark, Germany and The Netherlands.
An obvious Caspian Gull hybrid from Germany was also interesting.
Here's my favourite Caspian Gull of the day:
